Partition Overrun

Suspected Bug: If there are bad blocks, writing will overrun, and possibly corrupt next partition.

Temporary fix: run sharpflash -b and reduce length in sharpflash -w command by 0x4000 * number of known bad blocks in partition.

Permanent Fix: Truncate (lose) any blocks which overrun the specified length in the -w command.

Issues: There may be issues with this - I don't understand how the device driver uses the flash - i.e. could it have an unused gap, then use the last block on the partition?
